The #WindowsPhone App ignorance by the #Media is still alive #WP8 #WindowsPhone

Windows phone is growing at a steady pace and today we still see the ignorance by media as regards to mention never mind speak about the windows phone and windows ecosystem.

Early on in the year we had such a massive fail of an article titled the top 300 apps.not one of them windows,whilst there was apps in this selection for which too are present in the windows phone store,plus several top apps,the media just continue to ignore that there is a third OS which is windows phone,this is factually true.

Earlier in the year we seen a top 300 apps article,windows phone totally omitted.

So cast your mind back to this article  top 300 apps.

Not only has this media outlet failed,on windows phone,and nokia too ,another one has too several times.

Read here on that..here and here  we where completely ignored on both these articles,on site,via twitter and email.utter ignorance..

Today we come across another app article once again failing to acknowledge the windows phone OS.

And yet again its the same people in one form or another,when will these folks ever wake up?

None the less they don’t have one windows phone app and do for ios and android,yet boast about apple and new specific apps for apple products…

The best 20 mobile apps to download now..  telegraph uk

Now given that some of these apps are on windows phone ,windows phone is not once mentioned

There is multiple brilliant apps daily been announced for windows phone and its been ignored,media seem to thrive on apple and android,some of which these folks hire are of course previous apple staff etc so one wonders as to the abundance of mentions of the same products.

Time to wake up and smell the roses folks,i use android,i use windows,i use windows phone 8, i use all operating systems as i test devices,there is apps are coming,time to start mentioning them and featuring them in your one sided reports..

More Negativity from the irish media on #windowsphone #nokia #lumia #ireland

Once again we see an article dissing windows phone,this time from the journal.ie the very ones we have asked when will they produce a windows-phone application and reply with the same boring response we get from other media outlets here in ireland.

How can an OS be a success  if its not supported ? Proven that the OS is growing it seems most of the media and others alike have an issue,not only that they fail to produce apps,fail to support the OS and jump straight into the ios and android markets.

Its time they all woke up and realised that windows is the third operating system and and people like it,people want it,people want apps but no, Irish companies are not providing them. that includes the journal too,yes i am naming you because ive asked more than once,not only that,you like to splatter apple stories quite often and fail to report on windows phone.

Big example 22 October 2013,nokia and apple hold events,you flaunt the apple launch  but not one word on the Nokia lumia announcements,you where asked on twitter why,and you simply ignored it. 

 

 

 

 

From the journal.ie

WINDOWS PHONE USERS have it tough. Developers tend to focus more on iOS and Android because there are more users there, meaning that it’s usually third in the list of developer priorities.

This means that even the biggest apps take a while to make it over, even if they’ve been on other platforms for a while.

Considering Instagram was launched on iOS in 2010, and has been on Android since April 2012, Windows Phone users have been waiting a long time for it to reach their phones, but it finally arrived last night.

Except there were a few problems.

Granted, it’s a beta version (Instagram even puts the word ‘beta’ in block caps just to get the point across) so there were always going to be flaws, but some of them were more jarring than others. The major problem was that there was no obvious way to take photos directly on the app, which led to rumours that you could only view photos on it.

Instead, the app directs you to the phone’s camera roll where you can take a snap before returning to the app where you can then apply a filter and upload. It’s a roundabout method, but the end result is the same.

A spokesperson told Business Insider that “You can add photos from your camera roll, but taking a photo with the in-app camera is not a capability as of now.”

The second is that it doesn’t allow you to record videos on the app yet, despite the app’s description saying you can. This is something that will be included in a future update as Instagram gets used to the platform, but it will be disappointing to users that they won’t be able to upload videos yet.

Nokia fan from slovakia @RusnakCOBRA talks to Nokia News Ireland #nokia #ireland

Nokia fan Peter Chomanic is a nokia fan and seen my collection on nokia connects and we got chatting via twitter and email.
He wanted to tell us his story so here it is.
Q1- Hi your a man of many talents,tell us about who you are and what you do.
– I’m mostly a support guy, so I’m working as a server support for one of major players on that market. Aside of that, I’m a huge mobile fan (unfortunately, had no luck to work for Nokia), so from time to time I’m reviewing phones, testing apps, repairing phones for me & friends, collecting phones, sometimes modding some parts of Symbian, MeeGo e.g.: one of alphanumeric keyboards is mine, same as “CzechoSlovak edit of N9’s keyboard.
Q2- You are a nokia fan,what is your current daily driver.
– I’m using N9 (too afraid to use N950 as my daily phone) and I really love MeeGo OS and I have 2 more of them, as the first one is almost completely damaged now. Secondary phone is a BlackBerry Z10, as its OS is currently the closest to MeeGo (you know, swipes, no buttons…). Not fully satisfied with that. The third phones is curretnly being reviewed, it’s a Nokia Lumia 925. Used it to make some really good pictures on SAAB car meeting in Slovakia (https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/107175620946963824496/albums/5933961450698254625) and some trips in local forests (https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/107175620946963824496/albums/5939543106473240769). Well, Windows Phone in version 8 + GDR3 (developer update) is fine, but still, if that phone had MeeGo, I’d love it much much more 🙂
Q3-Your a blogger,tell us some more about your blog
– I was active on many forums about mobile phones, especially about Symbian, later Maemo & MeeGo, but I finally landed on Symbianmania, later renamed to SmartMobil.sk (http://smartmobil.sk) as we added all systems to it. We also started a blog there, publishing some news, guides (e.g. how to downgrade your Symbian phone), some App tis, phone reviews… Simply a voluntary work & support of smartphone users.
Q4- You claim to have alot of nokia devices,tell us about your collection.
– Well, I had few my older phones, I was given some from my friends and family too (as everyone knows how passionate I am about phones), some people donated some too when were grateful for my help on forums, so I started to collect them. Currently, I have 2138 phones in my collection, 820 various models. Nokia, of course, is the biggest part of my collection: 648 phones, 191 models. My dream is to make a Mobile Phones Museum (facebook.com/MuzeumMobilov; twitter.com/MuzeumMobilov), where you can go, see old phones in working condition and remember the the times when you lived with them, or wanted to have some of them. You know, now, most of the phones I ever wanted to have are cheap enough 🙂 I can have all the “toys”
Impressive collection there.
Thanks for requesting us to share your story and show us our collection peter.

EXCLUSIVE- NFC commander App for #WindowsPhone #nokia #lumia #NFC



NFC Commander is a Windows Phone application developed give you an easy and useful way to use the NFC capability of your Windows Phone.




The app was developed exclusively for windows phone platform and is designed to seamlessly integrate the OS using the Modern (metro) UI simplistic style with focus on typography giving the user an uncluttered straight forward experience.


There are plenty of nfc enabled applications but with NFC Commander you get the most complete experience. You can think of NFC Commander as an NFC hub if you like.


The main screen of NFC Commander let you pan through the main tabs which are  : read , write , about , more.


If you want to see what’s written on a specific NFC tag, tap your phone to it and select what you want to see from the read tab. When you read a tag you can see some general information’s about it in the “tag information”, you can also see what’s really written in the tag on the “data in the tag” and if for some reason you want to see it there is option to take a look at the raw data (useful only for developers).


Now the interesting stuff, NFC Commander let you write to NFC tags actions your phone can do when you tap it to the programed tag. What’s even cooler is that most of those actions can be read/done by any nfc smartphone , windows phone or not. Obviously those who can’t be read by other smartphones are windows phone specific actions. So what can you do by taping an NFC tag?
